How can I help?
One of the main ways to help stop clearcutting is to buy lumber that has been harvested through sustainable methods. By doing this, you send a message to logging companies that you want healthy wood from healthy trees while keeping the environment stable in the long term. Every person makes a difference. You can also help raise awareness by telling your friends and family about the negative impacts of clearcutting and suggesting that the next time they go to buy wood, that they buy sustainably harvested lumber or products made with sustainably harvested lumber to support the cause. You can visit the Forest Stewardship Council website(http://www.fsccanada.org/) for more info about sustainably harvested lumber products and where they can be bought.
